Leadership has been described as the “process of social influence in which one person can enlist the aid and support of others in the accomplishment of a common task”. [1] A definition more inclusive of followers comes from Alan Keith of Genentech who said "Leadership is ultimately about creating a way for people to contribute to making something extraordinary happen." [2]Leadership is one of the most relevant aspects of the organizational context. However, defining leadership has been challenging. The following sections discuss several important aspects of leadership including a description of what leadership is and a description of several popular theories and styles of leadership. This article also discusses topics such as the role of emotions and vision, as well as leadership effectiveness and performance, leadership in different contexts, how it may differ from related concepts (i.e., management), and some critiques of leadership as generally conceived. Students of leadership have produced theories involving traits [3], situational interaction, function, behavior, power, vision and values [4], charisma, and intelligence among others. Proponents of the trait approach usually list leadership qualities, assuming certain traits or characteristics will tend to lead to effective leadership. Shelley Kirkpatrick and Edwin A. Locke (1991) exemplify the trait theory. They argue that "key leader traits include drive (a broad term which includes achievement, motivation, ambition, energy, tenacity, and initiative), leadership motivation (the desire to lead but not to seek power as an end in itself), honesty, integrity, self-confidence (which is associated with emotional stability), cognitive ability, and knowledge of the business. According to their research, "there is less clear evidence for traits such as charisma, creativity and flexibility".[3]

November 05, 2009
Confidence: that elusive ability to project strength, wisdom, leadership and competence in the face of extraordinary -- or, even ordinary -- circumstances, even when we feel like crumbling on the inside.

Dewitt, NY – November 3, 2009: In the October issue of MHEDA Edge, noted executive coach and professional speaker Marsha Egan lends her abilities. Egan specializes in leadership development and positive change and in this issue she is offering up “layoff survivor strategies.”
According to Egan, downsizing is a reality. People lose their jobs. Those who don’t lose their jobs are left behind to do the same amount of work, yet with less manpower to do it. The layoff survivor’s tendency to feel victimized can be high. Negativity can invade the workplace, and people’s motivations can wane. Th... (read more)

17. Watching The Ship Sail - A Tale Of The Republican Party
November 01, 2009
In the good old days when the Grand Old Party was truly grand, crossing the oceans by ocean liner was still quite popular. Fortunately for the Republican Party of today, that is not the case.

As I write this, we are only a couple of days away from the special election for New York’s 23rd Congressional seat. The Republican anointed candidate, Dierdre Scozzafava, apparently seeing the writing on the wall, has withdrawn from the race. This leaves Democrat Bill Owens and ... (read more)

22. Layoffs Alone Can't Save Your Business- Focus on the Remaining Staff
November 01, 2009
More than 40,000 employees have been laid off by U.S. organizations between December, 2007 (the official start of our current recession) and June, 2009, in an attempt by companies to cut costs, improve profits, and shore up shareholder value. However, it is ironic that studies conducted over the past 20 years have repeatedly reported that layoffs do not usually produce those results. Instead, these studies have reported time and again that less than 50% of the companies using downsizing as a cost cutting and profit increasing measure actually achieve that objective; in fact approximately 25% a...
